This article discusses about the public health polices created by the federal government aimed at the LGBT population in Brazil from 2004 to 2014, and the performance of social control. The literature study was developed through the analysis of the final reports from the national health conferences in order to identify the actions proposed, and possible obstacles to the implementation of these polices. There has been increasing visibility regarding the promotion of equity for the LGBT people in the Brazilian Unified Health System (Sistema Único de Saúde - SUS), although this fact has not yet been sufficient to implement these actions. Thus, the need to create legal provisions prohibiting discriminatory practices and exclusion of this people in health services is highlighted, as well as the implementation of actions and programs by means of permanent education, a curricular reform, and joint action with social movements, aiming at the deconstruction of the “LGBT phobia” in SUS
